For many years I have instructed, mentored, coached, advised and worked with startups around the globe. Below is a list of programs and events where I have had hand-on experience hearing pitches from startups and giving input into their overall strategy with a specific focus on marketing, growth and business development.
I am involved with ongoing coaching for many companies and often get involved in arranging meeting for partnering and potential investments. Additionally, I have also moderated many panels, been a judge, interviewed startups for accelerator programs and developed coursework for on-site training.
